I recently found a little kitchen gadget on Amazon that I hadn't seen before. It seems I'm the last one in the universe to buy one. Everyone I've mentioned it to owns one, but if you don't you can find it here. It's basically an apple slicer that does perfect wedges discarding the core. You can slice three apples in seconds. My daughter and I are obsessed.

Apple's and nut butter are one of my favourite post workout snacks. They contain a great blend of carbohydrates and protein (and fat) helping replenish your body after a hard effort. Generally I like to eat it right away (it's about the same carb/protein ratio as chocolate milk without all the artificial sugar and food colouring if you buy unsweetened nut butter) as a snack then have a proper meal about 60-90 minutes after exercising. The slicer makes the job quick and easy with perfect wedges for dipping. Almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter (have you ever tried pumpkin seed butter?) all work just fine so pick your favourite. Eating some carbohydrates post workout replenishes the glycogen in your muscles aiding in recovery.
